UK, to be covered with snow in ‘5 cm per hour’ Blizzard in February as only two regions …

The United Kingdom is set to be covered with snow next month, as a huge blizzard strikes the country and spares only two areas.

As people are still rolling from Storm Eowyn, the “strongest storm” that hits Britain for the past 10 years, Arctic will be mixed with low pressure from the Atlantic to create a huge blizzard.

February will also see temperatures below zero in large parts of the country.

Weather maps from WXCharts show that large cuts of the country will be covered with snow when the blizzard arrives on February 11.

The only areas that are currently ready to be spared – Northern Ireland and southwestern England.

The cards show that snow falls at the fast speed of 5 cm per hour, although some areas are expected to get more snow.

The Scottish Highlands will see 21 cm of snowfall, while the area from Edinburgh to Manchester will be covered with 10 cm of snow.

Met Office says: “Periods of wet weather are likely to affect the northern parts of the UK at times, especially early during this period.

“Some heavy rain is possible, and this is likely to be accompanied by spells with strong wind.”

“South of this, over the rest of the UK, it is probably more settled, and although no rain can be excluded at times, there is probably plenty of dry weather throughout this period.

It comes after Storm Eowyn overturned more than 10,000 trees from National Trust Properties, says Conservation Charity.

Wind of up to 100 km / h on Friday, combined with heavy rain to soften the soil, caused the loss of historically important trees over Northern Ireland and northern England.

The national confidence in Scotland, a separate organization, said that each of the gardens it usually does in the southern or western part of the country has suffered damage.

The National Trust and its Scottish counterpart have appealed to donations to pay for the cleanup and recovery operation – which will include extensive replanting.

Northern Ireland, where a red warning was issued for the first time in its history, was hardest hit by the storm.

About 10,000 trees were lost at the 900 -goal big place on Mount Stewart, County Down as it blew through the formal gardens, property and forests.

Sheila Das, National Trust’s head of gardens and parks, said: “Our ranger and garden teams are assessing demand, but it is already clear that we have lost some very significant and precious trees, which is hugely sad.

“Older trees, some with veteran qualities and important stories, give our gardens such a character, and they connect us to the people who planted them, as well as playing an important role in ecosystems in our landscapes.”

“We know that climate change makes extreme storms like eowyn more likely, which pose a real threat to gardens and landscapes everywhere.

“Storm Eowyn reminds us that the world is changing and that we need to adapt the places we care to make sure that people and nature can thrive.”
